Photos & Bicycle Builds

Finally got my 100cc (79cc) Predator clone kit done! Put on 35 miles over the last few weeks. Got it to 45mph (still has governor). Rides smooth, reliable, sounds good! Sounds like a little 4-stroke pit bike. Had to buy a replacement carb and install new clutch, and adjust valve lash. Pretty happy with it now. Gets lots of attention, especially pulling up to the gas station and pumping gas right into it! Appreciate everyone who helped with good advice.

There is a car and bike show tomorrow, taking my trike for sure. Maybe the schwinn too. This was just a joke, I'll use my truck 😁 I may have some pretty bike pics, a lot of old bikes motorized, some custom, old cars, a ride, gonna be fun I hope.

I have the small kids bike it’s 20 inch rim monster high bike I was thinking maybe I could put a rear rack on it and a gas tank I don’t what do y’all think?

This time last year I was planning my gutting of my tadpole, to fit my fatbike with a BBS02. Ran the hell out of it last year. Wife wasn't doing so good. What a difference a year makes, she's healthy, and asking if her trike ready to go. Said I have to ride a trike to, thats our thing (pouty face). So, I pouted up a Bafang 48V500W rear hub and bought it. Its pretty peppy. It cruises up to 25mph pretty fast. Its more a greenway and park and country road cruiser, not a street runner. It won't be as versatile as the 7x3 hub on a middrive. It'll be easy. And a lot less chain wear, for a chain 3 chains long thats big. I think I'm gonna like the change. I forgot how nice it was to kick back and ride.

Here is my newest project! A 20“ bmx with rear mount 212cc. Top speed is 45mph with a stock engine. Very sketchy ride, throws you off like a bull if you’re not gentle with the throttle. Enjoy the pictures 😀

A dumpster Mongoose and P-85. About 150 yards from this house in s a sign that reads, ‘Loud motorcycle exhaust will not be tolerated.’ And they are serious because there is a series of switchbacks that all the Johnny racers go up and down. I really think that loud Harleys are what they are trying to discourage.

Before I had a clue about motorbikes, I bought the gas tank frame from Badberry. I wanted to build my first 2 stroke and get it street legal and plated for Florida Laws. I also bought the Badberry "BBR Tuning" performance "80 / 100cc" engine kit for my soon to be legal bike. Then I read the Florida Statutes on Moped (gas motor bikes) and found out it needed to be 50cc or less. So I shelved the BBR engine and bought a silver streak 50cc motor kit and the rest is history for the Risk's Ride and its fully legal registered Florida Motorbike that reaches 35-40 mph with ease. I was tired of kicking that BBR kit around my garage and have all three of my Whizzers running pretty well, so I parked them under the sheets for a few weeks to...

Finally rode it a few miles. According to the speed control sign on my street I got up to 38, which is plenty fast for me. Pretty quick of the line although I can tell my 20 dollar clutch slips a bit. Only took me 11 1/2 months.

Good start. The 1960s era huffy forks worked well for the base. Need to figure out if I want the headlight elevated slightly above handlebars, mid range or head tube level. After those brackets are tack welded I'll finish the welds, grind and file them and, move on. Happy with the results so far.

Headlight came in from England yesterday. Luckily it's in very restorable condition. Not sure if I'll use a carbide tank or make it an LED.

Got the Worksman frame, Early carbide headlight coming from England. Made these bars over the last couple of days and will build the front truss fork using an early 60s Huffy triple plate fork that hopefully will be shipped by the seller soon. I want it to closely resemble a 1912 Excelsior motorcycle. No sprocket or pedals. I make foot rests and use the bottom bracket for the jack shaft. Going with a 212 predator. I'm going to fil the entire build and post it on my youtube channel but will only post it once completed and break the video into sections so they're a watchable length. Probably won't be done till spring. Winter will be here in a few months and my garage is not heated.

Everytime I look at her I cant believe I created it from scrap and junk and the only problem I have with it is that I cant keep it Wide Open without muh cheeks tightning up. lmao

Apparently our water heater broke down at work so I got the day off and the weather is awesome so I'm tearing down and prepping the board. I'm surprised how everything lines up pretty good so far. I'm still getting an adapter plate and vibration buffers for the motor mount. The bearings and rims are great. The tires are ok but I'm upgrading to some slimed out, beefed up knobbies. After some lube the brake linkage is really smooth and even the shoes look good. That pretty much leaves me with the hardest part. Figuring out the paint scheme. I'm thinking straight black with hot pink suspension. I'll definitely keep Tigger decal on the front. Seems like a good name for it..Tigger. I received my kill switch and leash.

Thought I would post pics of my long awaited full suspension build. Looks like the biggest problem now is locating the card. I got most of it fabricated until more parts show up. Going to build the wheels next followed by pit bike hydraulic calipers

I know this has 4 wheels but the build is in the spirit of what we do here. A friend gave me a fairly nice Ezgo cart that needed too much to repair the electrics. Having a new 212 and torque converter in boxes its a no brainer. About a zillion of these have been done, but as usual I opted for the hard way. Not wanting to build all the intricate structures most folks do I opted to use the case of the old motor. Required a lot of tedious, actually a little over an hour, cutting of the motor case. With the case opened I can run a drive shaft inside the case turning the original input shaft with Lovejoys being driven by a a chain from the Preddy. This keeps every thing in its original places drive wise. Much less complicated fab wise. And...

Im think this fork might be just a little bit stronger than the 25 year old Judy xc.

I rode the bike as far as the house next door and immediately came to a couple conclusions. First thing is the 25 year old rock shox Judy is not up to the task. I am going to find a steel threadless 1 1/8 rigid fork that is disc brake ready unless any of you folks could recommend a affordable yet well made suspension fork. Second thing is the coaster brake is pretty much worthless as a few of you guys had told me would probably be the case with it I don't have any idea what I am going to do for the rear brake. But it was a really good feeling to fire it up and actually ride it even if it was only for a couple hundred feet. I got a disc brake coming for the front but I'm thinking I might want to get a 4 piston front brake caliper...
